Editorial Reviews

Review

Schneider's book is a great guide for the fainthearted, but don't be misled by the title. He himself does not seem to fall into this category! His boldness in challenging the beliefs and values of his acquaintances is based on his study of Jesus Christ's own teaching methods. (On Mission )

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Evangelism, January 27, 2000

By 

Jessica - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evangelism for the Faint Hearted (Paperback)

Floyd Schneider brings a different approach to evangelism, one that anyone can use- ask them to read the Bible with you! No more telling others what the Bible says, but having them read the truth for themselves. All the students in my Personal Evangelism class read the book, and now many of the students are involved in a Bible study with people they met in town. I've read the book, and it's right on. I recommend this to anyone who wants a real and practical way to evangelize.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tired of not having led anyone to Christ...read on!, January 1, 2000

By 

James Yi (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evangelism for the Fainthearted (Paperback)

I have read many books on evangelism and by far "Evangelism for the faint-hearted" is the best I've read so far. Many books share principles but Mr.Schneider goes further by providing practical help on how to address the most popular objections out there. I read the book on a Thursday and the next day I found two people that I will be having a evangelistic study with. This is a must read for all Christians.

He shows the reader how to become involved with non-Christian friends, turn conversations to spiritual things, and talk about salvation in a comfortable, natural, effective way. Evangelism For The Fainthearted is the ideal "how to" introduction on sharing the gospel with family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and anyone else we encounter as we proceed through the days of our lives.
